One of the best things about this recipe is the brownies get moister if you leave them in the refrigerator a day or two. The problem at our house is no one can leave them alone for that long! My husband—the best auctioneer you've ever heard!—and I have two grown daughters and a son, 14.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 can (16 ounces) chocolate syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour

1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar

1/2 teaspoon mint extract
3 drops green food coloring

1 package (10 ounces) mint chocolate chips
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon butter, cubed
